This is my first review so take it for what it is. This cigar blew me away and I had to share. Its ROTT and only been in my wineador for 6 hours but I couldnt wait to try it.
Fausto FT127 Robusto 5 x 54
Weather: 100 degree dry heat and a nice breeze
Drink: Boddingtons Cream Ale (drank enough water today)
Appearance: Very smooth dark wrapper. The cigar feels heavy in the hand. I really like the simple band.
First third
Nice hit of spice that dances on my tongue and tingles. Its the perfect amount of spice. The draw is just right with plenty of smoke. The most notable flavor behind the spice is cocoa.
Second third
Spice dies down a bit but still present. Wood and earth flavor dominates with a slight hint of dark rich coffee in the background. The flavor is tremendous and in the med to full range. Draw is still excellent and its burning evenly. The ash is loose and keeps falling off due to the breeze.
Final third
Flavor is really ramped up to full, but not overpowering. The spice is back in full force. The earth taste has faded and now getting a deep espresso with creamy cedar and tobacco on the finish. I dont want to put it down because its flavor is INCREDIBLE. Its almost worth burning my lips to nub it and I dont want it to end.
Final thoughts
Hands down the best new release cigar Ive had in months. This cigar has found its way into my top 8 cigars and I can only imagine with a little more rest it will be even better. I still have the other vitolas that I got in my sampler and cant wait to smoke them. This is box worthy and will have a permanent place in my wineador. With a price point around $8.00 its a true value for the money.
